It’s like an awful combination of a boomer making a flirtatious “joke” and the hyper nerdy language of The Big Bang Theory show.

And it’s a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

So for that alone we are extremely lucky.

As a pansexual I feel that Bi and Pan have enough differences to both be justified while the others are micro labels (not invalid, just less useful as labels).

But I recognize I’m drawing that line very conveniently for myself.

I painstakingly used video transcription searches to figure out where I heard this from and I finally found it!

It was touched on in this video Something’s Hiding Outside This Game… at 52 minutes.

The actual work being talked about is Three Versions of Judas by Jorge Luis Borges.

There’s a fascinating idea that Judas was the one who committed the ultimate sacrifice. That god chose him to be his human incarnate, to truly experience humanity and guilt by committing an ultimate betrayal and becoming the villain of biblical history. All allowing him to finally understand and forgive humanity’s sin, by committing one himself. It follows that this is supposedly maddening knowledge as it breaks the illusion of Christ’s sacrifice.

I’m definitely butchering and ad-libbing the original idea, but I think this makes for a grander story than the traditional “birth myself to sacrifice myself to myself to forgive everyone else” interpretation.

So a tricky thing with LGBT words is they seem to vary around specificity.

Like people can say gay to mean gay men, gay people, or any kind of queer.

Similarly transgender can mean a gender identity not matching your biological sex, which includes genderfluid; or it can mean specifically a binary trans man/woman.

These aren’t different valid opinions about the label. They are literally just different definitions for the words that depend on context. The words mean all of those things but usually only one in each context.

I would accept Mind Control in any scenario except if they realize they were mind controlled (damn D&D).

If it’s short range I’d finally get a decent job and would never have to worry about being attacked in public.

If it can be used over camera, become an influencer, “hey guys if all of you that are within your means could donate 1 dollar to my GoFundMe I’d greatly appreciate it”. Instant semi ethical riches.

If I could use it on the mirror, “Wirlocke you’re going to feel well rested and do x task”.

For normal people, to be late to something.

For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.

The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.

It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.

The only issues I’ve had with Firefox is when some websites, like Teams, doesn’t “support” it. Even though if you change the browser’s identifier (there’s an extension for that) then it works fine, they just don’t “officially support” it.

The way I’ve come to understand it is that LLMs are intelligent in the same way your subconscious is intelligent.

It works off of kneejerk “this feels right” logic, that’s why images look like dreams, realistic until you examine further.

We all have a kneejerk responses to situations and questions, but the difference is we filter that through our conscious mind, to apply long-term thinking and our own choices into the mix.

LLMs just keep getting better at the “this feels right” stage, which is why completely novel or niche situations can still trip it up; because it hasn’t developed enough “reflexes” for that problem yet.

I prefer gay harem personally.
